Its likely to be Parotid salivary gland enlargement , most likely to be MumpsParotitis. Giving sugar candy coated with 3-4 drops of frsh lime juice will be beneficial as it will promote salivation and help in regression of swelling. If the swelling still persists after couple of days, do consult Pediatrcian. Take Care
